  1. No Brainer... on The Best and Worst Tech-Book Publishers? · · Score: 1

    o'reilly == best
    sams == worst

  2. Here's another fact. on Dell Says High Linux Netbook Returns a "Non-Issue" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That fact that a multi-billion dollar corporation is making up lies about free software on a daily basis is just another sign of true weakness.

  3. A better choice... on Microsoft and Yahoo Reach Deal · · Score: 1

    Well Yahoo just lost it's biggest user base, Japan. Yahoo in Japan is bigger than both Microsoft and Google, yahoo even provides internet, and cellphone services in Japan. It's going to be interesting to see what happens to Yahoo Japan. Yahoo search is not better than Google but in some ways out performs google when it comes to non-english results. I don't know why they would trash their so much better than bing search engine for well... bing. It's like trading in a convertable for a prius. I have used bing a few times, and I don't see why anyone would use it over Yahoo or Google. The results aren't exactly relative to the search term, and they seem to be similar to a default sql %QUERY% but that's just my opinion.

  4. Very Very Bad Idea!!!! on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: 1

    Hurricanes move the energy pressure from the equator and dissipates the energy accross the north and south caps of the earth. If they were to go threw with this, it would get alot hotter alot faster and the radiant pressure builds could have unforeseen consequences.

  5. Re:Re:Good on Mono Outpaces Java In Linux Desktop Development · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I second turgid, and I will raise a toast to him.

    compare for fuck sake.

  6. Outsourcing at it's best on US Seeks Volunteers To Review Broadband Grant Applications · · Score: 1

    I guess you can pay enough indians to vote for what ever you want...

  7. I can see it now... on MIT Develops Camera-Like Fabric · · Score: 1

    Voyeur shoe company.

  8. For best results. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    The best games put gameplay first, controls second, and graphics/audio third.

    Alot of games these days sadly no longer use this method of design. Today it's more of graphics first, physics second, and promotion third.

    If you follow the older method of forever fun then you will get games like super smash bros 64, golden eye 64, mario cart 64, sonic adventure, shenmu, and of course wcw vs nwo 64.

  9. Re:Photonical engineering on Optical Transistor Made From Single Molecule · · Score: 1

    I'm was actually looking for a more serious response.

    I think electronics will be the past in less than 20 years.

  10. Photonical engineering on Optical Transistor Made From Single Molecule · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know when this science will be taught in universities?

  11. Seriously, who the fuck cares? on Microsoft Puts C# and the CLI Under "Community Promise" · · Score: 3, Informative
    C# == Microsoft Java Compare

    Why do people think C# is some new amazing language? Clearly MS took Java and gave it a MS framework.

    If you would just use java you probably wouldn't have this fear of MS trying to undermine the OSS movement. When a multi-billion dollar company other than google tries to "help" OSS, you can only be suspicious.

  12. What ever bitch... on NSA To Build 20-Acre Data Center In Utah · · Score: 1

    Disinformation is the cheapest and most efficient secrecy measure.

  13. Why the hell would you do that? on Flapping NAV Performs Controlled Hovering Flight · · Score: 1

    People can't drive cars so now we give the same people flying cars...

  14. Fear == Revenue on The Hysteria of the Cyber-Warriors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If country A were to take down country B internet connection then country A wouldn't be able to spy on country B or even get sensative info. I honestly don't think it's a big of a problem as they make it out to be.

    Most of it's just hollywood and bad publishing, but the main idea behind all this is revenue.

    The gov get's more spending, the site/paper that publishes the story gets more notice, and the list could go on forever. The truth of the fact is if people knew the facts then no one would beable to sell "protection" software and computer movies would have to make sense.

  15. Yet another reason to install linux in your car on GPS-Based System For Driving Tax Being Field Tested · · Score: 1

    This idea is a complete joke. Who would seriously allow the government to be attatched to their car? Onstar probably already lets the NSA have what ever access they want.

    Also how would anyone know what exactly is being sent? You would think tracking credit cards, cell phones, laptops, social sites, and digital television would be enough.

  16. So can you sue Google for finding my ISO files? on RIAA Victory Over Usenet.com In Copyright Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So does this mean Google is in the same boat? Technically google can do the same thing with filetype.

    filetype:iso has been one of my greatest search modifiers when looking for my pirated copies.

  17. Here's the real question on BD+ Resealed Once Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    50gb Blu-ray RiP or 1-3gb DVD-RiP?

  18. Re:Seriously... on 100 Million Used Games Traded Each Year In the US · · Score: 0

    But original art is one of a kind, no copies anywhere in the universe.

    We are talking about mass produced plastic in the hundreds of thousands.

  19. Seriously... on 100 Million Used Games Traded Each Year In the US · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is insane beyond belief.

    Should MSI get a cut of the sales if I sell my laptop?

    Why should game companies get a cut of resell?

    Even candy is labelled "no individual re-sell".

  20. Re:The Following keys also need to be altered Leno on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 1

    Classic

  21. You will need it for Windows 7 on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 0, Troll

    New, Windows 7 + Lenovo! Now you can ctrl+alt+del at half the speed of Vista!

  22. It's just slave talk. on Study Claims Point-of-Sale Activation Could Generate Billions In Revenue · · Score: 1

    Every once in a while some greedy bald guy in a suit will have coffee with his buddies to talk about restricting content for profit, and this is one of those ideas.

    Activating dvds, games, and anything else on a disc is absolutely impossible. Not every single hardware maker in the world is going to raise the cost of production to apply this crap to there devices.

    Now lets look at some more facts. Not everyone has internet, you would have to replace or have seperate hardware for the "activated" media, and most people will partake in the acts that this move is trying to prevent.

  23. It's honestly not a problem on Judge Thinks Linking To Copyrighted Material Should Be Illegal · · Score: 1

    Although it would be a great setback for freedom of speech on the internet, it's not really going to make a difference. Technically page redirects, plain text urls, and shortcut files are not links.

    On the other hand I would like to see how someone would try to enforce this garbage. It would more than likely lead to a plain text warez site or a software that retrieved plain text urls from a warez db.
